Being a craft beer lover and a new dog mama, I have changed the way I travel and the places I go out to. It can be tough to find dog friendly places, even though now in Sonoma County, dogs are welcome on the patios of most places that serve food {though still, businesses can… Read More SoCo Dog Friendly Breweries & Taprooms

An Italian and a Greek married nearly 40 years came to Penngrove about five years ago to bring the world delicious, freshly made sausages. Yanni’s is an amazing little gem in the tiny little town of Penngrove in Sonoma County. I have been hearing about them over the last couple of years and I am… Read More Yanni’s Sausage Grill

What could be better than beer? Beer paired with amazing cheese and grilled cheese. After a long day of beer tasting, we needed some grub and our favorite bartender in Manhattan recommended some great spots already so we decided to check out Astoria Bier and Cheese shop. It’s a small, long, narrow place- definitely cozy.… Read More Heaven in Astoria

Falling Sky Brewery & Delicatessen is neat inside: it’s got sort of a vintage feel with the brick wall and every so often a single brick slightly pushed out that then rest with a bold bright color and the long, family style table down the entire center of the restaurant. It’s warm and inviting. The… Read More Beer + Food

Barrel Works is probably one of my top five best finds so far in beer travel. A little bummed that we could not get a growler of anything but it was worth the wait to be able to taste their delicious brews. Great beers, away from the busy Firestone atmosphere, and awesome people behind the… Read More Barrel Works

Summertime means fresh fruits, veggies, and lot’s of time to spend eating delicious appetizers at local restaurants and sipping on good wine. One of my recent favorites is the burrata and prosciutto at Catelli’s. I recently tried it out with our Trione Rose of Pinot Noir and just as I suspected, it’s a superb pairing!… Read More Burrata + Wine

We stumbled upon many great places through travels but in Colorado, they had an array of awesome bistro type places serving a wide variety of craft beer AND whiskey and bourbons! I was in utter heaven! Apres is one of my favorite little gems. They don’t have food but you can bring in your own… Read More Three of my Favorite Things

A Perfect Day in the City From sunrise to sunset there are so many options in lovely San Francisco but where to go when you only have a day or so and you don’t even know where to start? I have compiled a list of my very favorite places to stop in, check out, dine,… Read More See San Francisco like a local

I like coming here, it’s close enough to home and it’s fairly consistent. The food is pub food. The bartenders are always friendly. They are into social media and always tweet back to me which I love. They’re big supporters of local groups; you will always see Ruth McGowan’s on the beer list at local… Read More Ruth McGowan’s Brew Pub
